...and before you pick a company, do your homework. There is a number of fly-by-nighters who have no clue what data recovery is. Cute and fancy website is an easy catch these days. Don't fall for its appeal, talk to the techs, see how well the conversation goes. Don't settle for the cheapest quote. A good engineer pays higher bills for his "better" equipment, so if data is important, make sure it's done right by the reputable data recovery engineer. Remember, sometimes there is only one attempt and it has to be done right. Best of luck!

It is pointless to swap a PCB on Seagate drives these days. Most likely it will not help. The odds are 1:50 that a compatible PCB will be a good match. There is a procedure that is a procedure to perform the proper swap and that requires tools, recovery equipment and knowledge of PCB architecture. On certain drives (some Seagate models ver IV or V) you should never swap a PCB. If you do, the drive will be toast. Same applies to some Hitachi / IBM drives. If data is critical - do not experiment.

Where are you located? Let me know and I'll suggest a company.

First thing to do is to pull the drives out of the freezer and never ever do that again. Put them into a bowl of rice for 10 hours or so in order to get rid of that humidity quickly. Why doing that in a first place? What are you trying to achieve? This procedure was applicable only to one model of Fujitsu MPG drives that were selling 10 years ago. Pull the drives out. Seagates have a number of issues. Let me know what the symptoms are and I will let you know what you might be looking at $-wise.
